"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Sunday funnies

That wild man of the web, TimT, sent me a link to the following video in an email. Tim writes: "I suppose Aussie talks sounds funny to youse lot over on the other side of the Pacific, but in our collective defense, I'd say Australians are too honest (or dumb) to use double entendres when a good ol' single entendres will do the trick." Enjoy!

I know exactly what you mean. When I lived in Miami, practically all of my friends were Cubans, and after a few years I started to talk English with a slight Spanish accent. I didn't even notice until my family began razzing me about it.

Years ago, on a trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia, I joined a boat tour of the harbor. A young man came aboard and said, "G'day, ladies and gentlemen, my name is ***, I'm from Australia, and I'll be your dick head today."

I usually pride my self on my ability to understand the various Scots accents - particularly from the west coast. One night this gentleman known to my hosts was visiting and he kept going on about how his wife wanted a pair of "jammy shoes", which I thought rather perplexing. Turns out he meant Jimmy Choos, so I was right in my first translation.I did enjoy the video - very educational on dicks and cocks.
